Course summary

Planning impacts our everyday reality in so many ways, influencing the homes in which we live and the quality and availability of opportunities which can support our health, wealth and well-being. It can affect our public and community spaces and our professional and leisure spaces, as well as how we travel and move between them. You will examine how and why places, such as cities, towns, and the countryside, change and how they can be improved through planning practice and research. This programme opens a wide range of exciting career opportunities in planning, development and surveying. Graduates have an excellent track record securing employment in these sectors as well as transport, economic development, environment policy, housing and urban regeneration. With modules that involve practitioners and experts from the world of practice, you will also have the opportunity to understand how your learning applies to the real world and consider the ways in which you can develop your professional profile and employability. Increasing competitiveness in the graduate job market makes professional and practical experience invaluable in helping you to kickstart your career.
